Testamonial: Georgian's workshop, "Advice to Your Younger Self: Celebrate Your Story" at the 2015 Connecticut Women's Conference was very well received. Each attendee came away with newly discovered energy and courage to take on life's transitions. Her workshop was the perfect follow-up to our morning program, "Unleash Your Inner Hero!"

Joanne Gustafson, President, Connecticut Women's Alliance.

Workshop Offerings Include:

Your Next 20 Years - A Workshop for Midlife Career Women

Develop realistic hope for earning as we age; address 'what if' scenarios; catalog transferable skills and talents; explore opportunities to do what you always wanted!

Welcome! Note the tabs on top -- Trades Success showcases a handbook I co-authored that celebrates careers in the trades. The "Working Women" section offers services and ideas to help summon our creativity in every phase of our careers. In the "Ponder That" section I comment on current news items and emerging trends. In the "Tips" section I offer workplace advice and reminders. "About Me" is just that. "Mid LIFE Matters" has segments from my public tv show. "The Ryan Group" tab offers access to an astounding set of organizational improvement services.

I host a half-hour show on WPAA-TV celebrating women's wisdom and wit. Fascinating women share their stories and growth mindsets: Segments are under the MidLIFE Matters tab on this site and on You Tube, under my name.

I am honored to win the 2016 Community Media Rika Welch leadership award for community impact; a testimony to the Guests who shared their stories on MidLIFE Matters

E-Book Webinars & Workshops

Thank you to Joan Lahti, Ph.D., of Get To The Point Books for sponsoring a 45-minute webinar on my e-book, Are Your Star Performers Packing Their Bags? How to Persuade Them to Stay. Participants from across the country (and globe) reflected on their own retention tactics, and saw how to navigate this user-friendly workbook approach. I offer similar sessions -- in person, online, or using blended technology, for any size group.Contact Joan for a reference:

Geting older does not mean you have to stop working - just look at the three wise women in their 90s featured in the MidLIFE Matters tab on this site ("90 is Just a Number"). However, becoming a productive elder does require taking a clear-eyed view of your surroundings. This book offers a great mix of stories and research about women staying on their feet and moving forward, taking losses in their stride. The author measures wealth by the strength of the friendships and family members who are on this journey with us. Highly suggested for women in their later careers.
